Defense reigns as Seahawks take lead in San Francisco

Through 30 minutes of football, the scoring has been nothing but field goals, and the Seahawks have taken a 6-3 lead into the locker room at halftime.

The fans in San Francisco booed as their team left the field at the end of the second quarter, and the pressure on 49ers quarterback Alex Smith may be mounting. Although Smith has avoided any interceptions, he’s just 7-for-15 for 59 yards. Fortunately for the 49ers, Seahawks quarterback Russell Wilson hasn’t been able to get much going, either, completing six of 13 passes for 103 yards.

This may be the kind of game in which one big play from either quarterback is enough to make the difference. At halftime we’ve had zero big plays from either quarterback.

You know… I dont hate the niners…
Do I think they’re way over-rated?
Yes.
When they beat a few good teams they should be considered an elite team.
Until then…. Not so much.
I’m not buying the NFL’s standard narrative that makes them a team to beat.
They’ve always been over-rated as far as I’m concerned.

lmao the nba is one of the most boring sports to watch not quite the joke as baseball is omg I can’t wait til king nfl kills the mlb!! The nfl is by far the most fun to watch and the greatest sport!! even the worst Nfl game is still 1000 times more fun to watch and entertaining than the nba championship game and the mlb world series(mlb is a Joke of a so called sport)

I’ll give ya that Mayock can sometimes sound like Sylvester the cat, but to me there’s not a more astute color commentator out there. Immediately after a play ends, he’ll take his pen and diagram the key part that made the play (Iupati making a great pulling block from his LG position) or didn’t make the play (Tate lackadaisically missing a block on a WR screen). His breakdown of the Beastquake run vs. the Saints is legendary (“Get OFF me…”).

They just beat the team that beat the “Best” team in the entire league. What more do you want?

Whats with all the missed calls against the Seahawks? It seems almost as if the refs were playing for them…So many PIs, facemask on Alex, poor spotting on critical downs. The Hawks are def a great team…at playing dirty! I hope officiating goes against them one of these days.
